Clean room. It seems they have a lot of private events throughout the hotel with music and microphones blaring and seems the guest become an afterthought. There was a lot of machine cutting construction one night around 11pm spoke to front desk and didn’t reply immediately, 20 minutes or so after they replied with will ask them when they will finish, no consideration to guest. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 7 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean rooms.
